Reading Month!

We have had a really great time during reading month and the kiddos are so proud of their reading accomplishments!  On Friday, we will be having a PJ day and an assembly for the end of reading month.

Please keep up the reading, writing, and counting during spring break.  Use the busy bee binders for practice and read every night if you can.

There will be no show-n-tell this Friday due to the half-day dismissal.

Just an FYI

Just so you know, I am the girls’ Varsity Track coach so in the spring I will be leaving class early some days for away track meets and there will be subs to dismiss the kiddos. 

I am less available to have after school conferences so if you need anything or wish to meet please contact me and we can make other arrangements.

Thank you for your understanding.

If you and your family are planning on leaving early for Spring Break please let me know in advance.

Have a safe and refreshing Spring Break.  Praying everyone comes back ready to finish out our school year with a BANG!
